"Die Cuttin Diva's" Guest Designer

Today I'm the guest designer over at the Die Cuttin Diva's weekly challenge blog. Every week they have an amazing challenge where you create a card/project according to the guidelines and use a die cutting tool/cartridge/cut. So easy and so fun! And there are prizes to win too!

This week's challenge is "use white and pick either: pink, red, or purple".

If you know anything about me or my designs, you know I always gravitate towards things that are pink. Hehe. My wedding was pink pink pink, my blog is pink pink pink, and my daughters favorite color is pink pink pink. So I got to work right away gathering together some beautiful pink paper and getting inspired. I wanted to make a love card because it's so close to Valentine's Day. This is what I created.

 The card originally measured 6.5x5. But I trimmed half an inch off the height and width because I wanted my die cut embellishments to hang over the edges. 

 

 This cut is from "Lacy Labels". I cut it at 3.25.

It has lots of layers which I popped up with dimensional tape.

I thought the sentiment was perfect for this card.

I love making these layer butterfly elements. 

I cut 3 different butterflies from the Cricut cartridges "Florals Embellished", "Tie the Knot" and "Paper Lace" in a variety of sizes.

Then I layered them together and fastened them with a brad.

Bending the wings forward gives such wonderful dimension.

Thanks so much to the Die Cuttin Diva's for having me as a guest designer. Your blog is so fun and full of amazing inspiration.

I hope you are inspired to create your own card/project for this challenge. 

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day everyone!

 

Sweet Treat Mailboxes

Everyone has love in mind as Valentine's Day approaches. I adore this time of year for so many reasons. One being that pink is my favorite color. And I can create all pink all the time with no worries!!

Today I made two sweet treat mailboxes from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. I cut both out at 8 inches.

 I first envisioned these mailboxes on my mantel as home decor.

But alas, my two older kiddos got a hold of them and have been playing 

"candy mailman" ever since.

How fun is that? And so appropriate for Valentine's Day too.

I created two sweet little pillow boxes ready to be filled with candy treats.

Blue and White Circle Card

Hello friends. I've been gone for a spell but no worries. My kiddos were all sick :( But they are on the mend, which means momma can have some crafty time!

I created this circle card for the following challenges:

1. Pumpkin Spice Blog : create something blue and white with an element in the round

and

2. Mojo Monday: round card sketch

 

Supplies:

MME "All is Bright" 6x6 paper pad

ON SALE

found here for $3.35

Paper Smooches "Bee Mine" stamp set

found here for $14.99

I used my Cricut to create the card base and a metal die to cut the ivory doily. The edge detail is a Martha Stewart punch. 

I was going to make a second card with the scraps from the first, but instead I created this sweet wine glass tag. I'm pretty sure I saw something similar on Pinterest. You can make several for a party and either make them all different so your guest know which glass is theirs, or you can leave a space to write your guests' names. 

 The large base circle measures 3" and I used a 3/4" punch for the wine glass stem. A simple snip with my scissors into the center circle made it possible to slide the tag on. 

Such a cute little set!
